Abstract:Microplastics are plastic particles less than 5 mm in size but larger than 0.1 µm. Widespread microplastic pollution in aquatic and terrestrial environment is raising serious concern globally due to its detrimental impacts on living beings. This urge for the necessity of a sensitive analytical tool, which can facilitate reliable identification of microplastics. Micro-Raman spectroscopy enables molecular level structural details of samples and thus highly preferable for the identification of microplastics in wa… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
